A lot of users, of late, have reported their inability to create Teams meeting from Outlook. The online forums are filled with many sharing their concerns. And it looks like Microsoft has finally come around and released a fix to enable Teams meeting add-in in Outlook.

  • Microsoft has finally released a fix in version 1.5.00.28567, and users can now create Teams meetings in Outlook.
  • This comes months after Microsoft acknowledged the issue.
  • So, find out all there’s to know about the update and a quick workaround in case things still don’t work.

The patch was released in Teams version 1.5.00.28567, as confirmed by Microsoft in an official post, and those who have already updated can now seamlessly create meetings in Teams. Just update Teams, and you are good to go!

For those who still don’t see the option, Microsoft has released a workaround to get things running. Here, you will have to make sure that the Teams plugin is added to Outlook and enabled.

How can I re-enable the Teams meeting add-in in Outlook?

  • Launch Outlook, and click on the File menu.
  • Click on Options.
  • Now, navigate to the Add-ins tab, select Disabled items under the Manage dropdown menu, and then click on Go.
  • If you see Teams listed here, select it and then click on Enable.
  • Save the changes and restart Outlook.
  • Press Windows + R to open Run, type regedit, and then hit Enter.
  • Paste the following path and hit Enter:Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Resiliency\DoNotDisableAddinList
  • Now, right-click on the empty portion, hover the cursor over new, select DWORD (32-bit Value), and name it TeamsAddin.FastConnect.
  • Once done, double-click on it, change the Value data to 1, and then click on OK.

That’s it! The Teams add-in would be enabled and remain that way, courtesy of the Registry changes you made here. But make sure to keep checking for updates and install it as soon as one is available.
